have a distorted image of
the Jewish state.
Dulzin, who presided at a
two-day meeting of the
presidium of the Brussels
Conference for Soviet Jewry
in Rome this week, said on
his return to-Israel that his
talks with Soviet Jewish
"drop-outs" in Rome left
him "broken-hearted."
He said there are now
about 10,000 "drop-outs" in
the Italian capital, waiting
for admission to the United
States and other western
countries. He said they have
not the slightest informa-
tion about Israel, and those
who claim knowledge pre-
sent distorted facts.
According to Dulzin,
the main reason these
Jews decide against com-
ing to Israel is the hous-
ing shortage, reported
absorption hardships
and anticipated difficul-
ties with the Israeli
bureaucracy: He said
those factors were com-
bined with anti-Israel
propaganda to which the
emigres have been sub-
jected.
During the two-day meet-
ing, Dulzin also pointed t9
the approximately 4,500
Jews that have been emig-
rating from the USSR every
month, an estimated 50,000
by the end of 1979.
"The tremendous effect of
the Jackson-Vanik
Amendment to the foreign
trade bill in the United
States . . . has contributed
in compelling the Soviets to
soften their attitude," he
said.
In Rome, Robert Hawke,
president of the Australian
Council of Trade Unions,
confirmed that Soviet offi-
cials told him in Moscow
that they will ease emigra-
tion restrictions for Soviet
Jews and release Jewish ac-
tivists now in prison, per-.
haps including Anatoly
Shcharansky.
Hawke described his
meeting with Aleksei
Shibayev, the Soviet
trade union chief, to Dul-

meeting on the problems
of Soviet Jewry.
Hawke, who had come to
the Soviet Union after dis-
cussing the emigration
problem in Israel, first re-
vealed the promises given
him to three Jewish ac-
tivists, Alexsandr Lerner,
Viktor Brailovsky and Vla-
dimir Prestin. Among the
pledges given Hawke was
that no Jewish applicant
would have to wait more
than five years for an emig-
ration visa.
Observers here noted that
by making the pledge to a
non-American and a non-
Jew, the Soviets could ap-
pear not to be giving into
pressure from the United
States for concessions on
emigration.
The pledge was an-
nounced only three weeks
before President Carter is
scheduled to meet Soviet
President Leonid Brezhnev
in Vienna to sign the SALT
II treaty.
The Carter Adminis-
tration has also been re-
portedly urging the
Soviet Union to give as-
surances on the easing of
emigration restrictions
so that the U.S. can grant
